Pokemon Scarlet and Violet: Wo-Chien and all purple stake locations

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet offer a vast open world for players both old and new to explore. Taking place in the region of Paldea, players will have plenty to do and see on their journey to catching new monsters. These include powerful legendary-tier Pokemon, some of which can be obtained relatively easily if players know what they are doing and have progressed enough.

For example, there are four Pokemon that are collectively known as Legendary Treasures of Ruin. These include Chien-Pao and Wo-Chien, and here's how one can obtain the latter.

Purple stake location 1

The first purple stake can be found near the Artazon area - which is where they solve the Sunflora puzzle and fight the Grass-type Gym Leader. It is on a cliff overlooking the area as marked on the map in the screenshot. Players will have to approach it and interact with it to make it disappear.

Another stake can be found close to Los Platos. Players will need to go south from here to find this seventh stake. The location can easily be identified on the map by the circular origin of the flowing river.

The final stake will be in the southernmost area, atop a cliff. Some sort of ruin can be seen nearby as well. Once the final stake has been interacted with, players will hear a mysterious cry from the shrine. Now that all the stakes have been released, it is time to find and fight Wo-Chien.

Here's the legendary (image via PerfectParadox/Youtube)

Thankfully, the shrine is just below the cliff where the eighth stake was discovered. Approach it and interact with it to begin the fight. Wo-Chien is a Dark/Grass-type Pokemon.

Grass is weak to Ice, Poison, Fire, Bug, and Flying types. Dark is weak to Fighting, Fairy, and Bug types. This means it will be 4x weaker to Bug-type Pokemon. It is important to note that Dark types are immune to Psychic moves. Players will be required to weaken it to catch it.
